How it works

1

Paste your notes

Paste text, upload a PDF, or drop in any study material. Works with lecture notes, textbooks, articles - anything.

2

AI generates your deck

The AI identifies the key facts, creates atomic flashcards following best-practice card design, and organises them into a deck.

3

Export to Anki

Click Download. You get a native .apkg file. Open it on desktop or mobile - Anki imports it in seconds, ready for FSRS scheduling.

Why Anki users choose StudyCards AI

Anki is the best spaced repetition system. The bottleneck is card creation - it takes hours per lecture. StudyCards AI removes that bottleneck entirely.

Cards designed for Anki from the start

The AI follows Anki best practices: one fact per card, cloze-style where appropriate, context-rich questions. Cards that work with FSRS from card one - not walls of text that never stick.

Native .apkg export - not CSV hacks

Export as a proper Anki package file. Double-click to import on desktop, or open on mobile. No field mapping, no import errors, no reformatting required.

Covers your specific material

Pre-made decks like AnKing cover the syllabus. Your cards cover your lectures, your professor's notes, your clinic's protocols. Generate a custom deck for anything you're actually being tested on.

2 hours of card creation → 2 minutes

A full lecture typically takes 2–3 hours to card manually. StudyCards AI generates the same deck in under 2 minutes. More time studying, less time making cards.

Common questions

Does it really export a proper .apkg file?

Yes - a native Anki package file, not a CSV. Double-click on desktop to import directly into Anki, or open with AnkiDroid/AnkiMobile on mobile. No field mapping required.

What note formats does it accept?

Pasted text (any format), PDF upload, and direct text input. Works with lecture notes, textbook excerpts, articles, and any other text-based study material.

Is it free?

Yes - your first deck is completely free with no credit card required. After that, you pay per deck or subscribe for unlimited generation.

Will the cards work with FSRS?

Yes. The cards are standard Anki flashcards that work with any scheduling algorithm - SM-2, FSRS, or anything else. Enable FSRS in your deck settings after import for the best results. See our FSRS guide for setup instructions.

Can I edit the cards before exporting?

Yes - review and edit your generated deck in the StudyCards AI interface before downloading. Add, remove, or modify any cards. You can also edit cards in Anki after importing using the Card Browser.
